Councillors in South Dublin have just voted to sell council land to a private developer for 70 so called affordable houses for €100.
Only 7 councillors (incl 4 PBP) voted against.

I have no words.
He beat her unconscious unprovoked because she asked him to stop shouting “f*ggot” at someone.
The state must appeal this. He should jailed.
Beat the living daylights out of a woman in the middle of O’Connell street and you’ll literally get away with it.

Violent soldier’s army career deemed more important than woman he viciously beat & traumatised. She was saving some men from homophobic slurs.
Patriarchal justice system makes its priorities clear again.
#violenceagainstwomen not important.

Grand National day.
For us that live and breathe horse racing, this day can be an emotional roller coaster. Excitement, nerves, elation, upset, frustration, relief.
In amongst all of it, don't forget one key truth. The annual naysayers will fire their shots at our sport in pursuit of cheap publicity again, but by tomorrow morning the vast majority of them will have moved on to something else until next year.
We'll still be here, caring for and loving our horses and our sport.
Take a breath. Direct them to the facts (horsepwr.co.uk). Don't let them wind you up.
We've got this.

I am trying to find my brother. He was born 2/6/71 in Liverpool and was named Christopher Leffler. His name will have been changed after being adopted.
Hopefully he knows these details, if so I would love for him to get in touch!!
Please retweet this far and wide!!

Trying to have a night out for a person in a wheelchair is not easy. Refused service by 2 restaurants in Rathmines. Rang @sushidadublin and was told the accessible area was "needed for takeaway collections". Bags of food prioritised over PWD. @DisabilityFed @struggleiswheel

Here is a conversation I had once with a child protection supervisor:
Social worker supervisor: The mother keeps lying to us about the domestic violence.
Me: It sounds like you are pretty angry at her for not telling you the truth about what's happening.
Social work supervisor: Yes I am because the child is in danger.
Me: Are you more angry at her for lying than you at the perpetrator for creating the danger in the first place?
Social work supervisor: *awkward silence*
We have trained an entire cohort of professionals to be angrier at domestic violence survivors than at the perpetrators of domestic violence. "Failure to protect" culture is real. It's a set of unwritten rules, practices and beliefs that direct practitioners to blame mothers who are survivors and ignore fathers who are perpetrating violence. This is unfair, inefficient, ineffective and unsafe. And we can do it better. #StopBlamingMothers #StopIgnoringFathers
